Summary
The incoming Trump administration plans extensive rollbacks on electric vehicle (EV) policies, including eliminating EV subsidies, blocking battery imports, canceling federal EV purchases, and reversing $7.5 billion in charging infrastructure funding.
EPA fuel efficiency standards will revert to 2019 levels, increasing vehicle emissions by 25%.
Trade tariffs, applied globally, will raise EV costs, while California’s stricter emissions rules face renewed opposition.
Public safety regulations, such as crash reporting for automated vehicles, are also set to be repealed.
These policies prioritize fossil fuels and U.S. auto manufacturing over EV adoption and environmental goals.
All submarines will now be diesel only and will dive no deeper than ten metres.
Even submarines powered by diesel engines use, to my very limited knowledge, generators to convert to electricity and then use that electricity for the actual engines. Unlike most cars which do not convert to electricity first. And if the way the electricity was generated is what defines it, then other EVs would need to be allowed as well because the electricity could have been generated from burning fossils.
